This is a great swing frame, it is shorter than I thought, but I also didn't read the measurements great. In any case, it's great for our classroom that we are using it in and seems very sturdy and great for indoors.

Upon putting this swing frame together, following the fairly easy-to-follow instructions, I find that the cross bars do not fit the legs. The crossbars (the short bars that go parallel to the ground on each side) are about 1/2 inch too short. (I did make sure the legs were installed properly, and completely screwed in.) I ended up using the vinyl ties that tied the box together, and slipped a strip through the holes that the crossbar is supposed to be attached to and tied it securely. I did this on both sides. I'm hoping this will give the swing frame the extra support that the crossbars are supposed to provide.
I'm disappointed, but maybe the defective parts is why this swing frame ended up on overstock.com to begin with.
The swing frame has stood through a thunderstorm so far, but has not had much use yet. So, I guess it remains to be seen if my DIY solution will do the trick.

I am very pleased with this swing frame, but even more important so is my 91-year old father, for whom it was purchased. Two summers ago, I purchased the Sante Fe Nailhead Swing but we put it on his old swing frame. Since then, the condition of the old frame became compromised so it needed to be replaced. Overstock was the obvious place to begin looking for a replacement and I was delighted to find the Woodlawn Swing Frame. I read all the previous reviews and description carefully before purchasing. A couple of reviews noted it might appear to be unstable between the ends, requiring a stabilizing bar and they had added something to take care of that. We have considered doing so but since the swing really is just used by my dad, so far, so good. It was pretty easy to assemble, however, a note of WARNING: be careful when handling the nuts as they tend to get lost if you are assembling in the grass, as we did :) and had to get replacements! I like it as the swing is lightweight enough for me to move around when the yard is being mowed. So, we are very pleased with our purchased. (Also, my dad wanted a pad in his swing after we got the Sante Fe and we found that at the O, too.)

It looks nice, as pictured, but I'm not so sure about its stability - may have to run supporting chain between legs. Guess I was expecitng too much for the amount spent. I always reference reviews before I buy and they were good.

The only problem I encountered was a slightly off-sized link in the swing-attachment hardware. The link was just a smidgen too small to fit onto the corresponding eyehook. I used a metal file to size it correctly and have since enjoyed sitting in the swing daily. The frame seemed so small when I was putting it together (by myself!) but I am so glad it doesn't take up a huge chunk of my yard. I feel like I got a great price on this piece.

I purchased the Jennings Porch Swing to go with this frame. The frame says it can hold up to a 60 in. swing. The swing I purchased was 60 in. but it is a tight fit and does hit the frame sides if you don't have a balanced load on the swing. You need to sit in the middle or it hits. Over all it is a very strong frame.

The frame was sturdy and works well for a swing. My husband found it simple to put together except one of the holes on the top piece did fully align to insert the screws. He redrilled the hole and it worked like a charm.

Quick shipment. Instructions were confusing - the bolt count matched but the sizes didn't. Called the company and they were going to send replacements, but figured out the problem with the instructions. Really need 2 people to complete assembly. Nice once it was done. Goes well with Santa Fe Nailhead Swing

A family member had brought back a cotton hammock from South America but didn't have a place to anchor it. Her backyard is very small so a traditional hammock stand would have taken up the length of the patio. I saw this and took a chance; it worked out perfectly. We looped the ends of the hammock over the swing anchors on top of the overhead bar. The hammock suspends about a foot off the ground. All the kids lay lengthwise and any adult can sit and swing sideways very comfortably. If you are looking for a space saving way to hang that hammock you bought on vacation, this will work!

I has spent the last 2 months shopping for a swing stand for my wicker swing. It was hard to find. The stands I did find were wooden and they started at $300. I decided to check out Overstock.com and was surprised. Not only was it very affordable but I was impressed when it arrived. I thought it would be cheap looking because of the price and to my surprise it was very nice and sturdy.....
